作用机理
阳离子脂质体可以通过其表面的正电荷与核酸的负电荷通过静电相互作用包裹核酸,形成核酸-脂质体复合物。细胞膜表面带有负电荷,使得复合物能够被吸附。一旦被吸附,复合物可以通过膜融合或内吞作用进入细胞,形成细胞内的包含体。一小部分DNA可以从包含体中释放出来,进入细胞质,进一步进入细胞核进行转录和表达。

常见问题
Q1: 准备核酸转染试剂复合物时可以有血清存在吗?
a: 血清的存在可能会影响脂质体的形成。建议在准备核酸转染试剂复合物时使用无血清培养基(通常为MEM培养基)。
Q2: 在转染实验中需要更换为无血清培养基吗?
a: 不需要,我们的转染试剂可以在含有血清的培养基中进行转染。
Q3: 转染后需要终止转染吗?
a: 不需要。脂质体复合物可以稳定存在6小时。如果转染前没有更换细胞培养基,需要在转染后4-6小时更换为新鲜培养基,以确保细胞正常生长所需的营养物质。但如果转染前已经更换了培养基,则在脂质体转染后不需要再次更换培养基。
Q4: 存储和使用转染试剂时需要注意什么?
a: 该试剂必须存放在4°C。避免反复长时间开盖,因为长时间暴露在空气中可能会导致脂质体氧化,影响转染效率。
Q5: 如何提高转染效率?
a: 转染时的细胞密度,保持在90%-95%。
b: 转染过程中使用MEM无血清培养基稀释核酸和脂质体稀释液。
c: 转染后4-6小时可以更换培养基。
